Graduate Certificate in Business
Holmes Institute, Multi-campus (Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast), Australia
About this program
The Graduate Certificate in Business is Holmes Institute's embedded one trimester exit award from the MBA: a third party education agent listing (IDP) directly quotes Holmes as stating that 'students may elect to exit the MBA after one trimester having qualified for the Graduate Certificate in Business (GCB) award which consists of 4 units'. It is a real, currently CRICOS registered qualification (102190G) named explicitly, alongside the Graduate Diploma in Business and MBA, in Holmes's own current Admission Requirements Policy and Procedures document, but it has no dedicated marketing page on holmes.edu.au (its own 2019 page, since removed, is preserved in the Wayback Machine).
Because the Graduate Certificate is the same 4 core units that make up the whole Graduate Diploma in Business (which itself has a live current course page), its curriculum maps directly onto that confirmed real unit list.
